I am (hence the pen name) from Texas. I am a Historian by trade, and a TV junkie by choice. I am married, a mom and a huge dork most of the time. I work, I split what little down time I have between jogging, various in-sundry everyday duties that we all get stuck doing, along with trying to enjoy some creative activities like writing, singing, making vocal recordings and keeping up with my varied TV show menu. I've taken a couple of graduate level fiction writing classes, and I hope they've paid off. But I'm still absurdly thankful for spell-check.

I'm extremelypicky about fanfic, because I like reading stories where the authors stay as true to the characters from the shows as possible. I do not suffer the trite, the immature, the Mary Sue or the extravagantly out-of-character. I do not suffer the poorly written, mistake-riddled, or the no-plot-wonders. I like wit, satire, angst and tension - wickedly accurate characterizations - a mystery that twists and surprises or a one-shot that leaves me thinking. Have I mentioned that I'm picky?

I have been dubbed the Mistress of Tease. I'm not a "fluff" writer. I like tension you can chew on! That said, I do like romance, but the unrequited/unrealized kind really butters my bread. When it comes to happy endings, well, I tend to write for the "hopeful ending". Not necessarily resolved, yet open for anything to come.

I enjoy a multitude of fandoms, from crime drama, fantasy, to Sci/Fi (as evident from my authored stories). My tastes change and vary quite frequently, which usually ends in me starting a new story before I'm done with others.

I love in-depth reviews. Constructive criticism is always appreciated. If you have something you like, or didn't, about my stories, well then by george tell me!

My name on AO3 is AlamoGirl80 and all of my other H50 stories are contained therein. (I can't link you because FFN has banned links)

I'm also on Tumblr as AlamoGirl80, so drop by and see what has been distracting me!

For a prompt on LiveJournal: Holmes being the victim of rape with Watson finding out and as usual having to deal with the aftermath. EXPLICIT non-con, violence, NC-17. May be triggering. There is plot involved yes, that's also a warning .

Blind faith doesn't always lead to the light. Love doesn't always choose the ideal companion. Human and Synthetic. She journeys for answers; he searches for purpose and the elusive existence of his soul. Desire binds them, darkness will test them, but fate could tear them apart.

Inspired by cast interviews and new sneak peek/promo vids for the second half of the season, the character of Carol grows and adapts. My first real action piece for TWD. Flashes of Caryl because I can't not write that. Rated for language & violence.

In physics, there are things that are called Quantum Events, small, seemingly insignificant events that change things on a grand scale, and in theory, creating multiple universes or timelines as repercussions. This is one of those stories...

She fought down the hysterical urge to laugh as she wildly wondered whether she could overcome the confused mix of feelings she had for Guy and sink the dagger into his chest in order to protect Richard.

Set immediately after the winter finale of Jacksonville. Just one possible course of events, which - like life- is not a straight line, but a series of choices leading in vastly different directions. This is one of those directions...

SyFy's Alice. "I -- I hardly know, sir, just at present -- at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then." Rating going up. COMPLETE.

Future!fic in season 2. A late night conversation takes a surprising turn to cover some sensitive, emotional ground. 'It was kind of sweet, in a Jane way. Which meant that as much as it was sweet, it was also deeply troubling.' Subtle Jello undertones.

Somehow he’d needed to be here tonight, in the rooms warmed by her presence, lulled by the soft cadence of her breath, reminding him that not everything that meant something to him died. Post-ep to Redwood. Minor Jane/Lisbon

My first fanfic. Criminal Minds/Mentalist crossover. 3 guests from the BAU visit, shortly after 'Red John's Friends'. I've taken some license, but I guarantee you'll never look at the smiley face the same way again.

He hated himself even more when he started wishing she’d never come along, and when he began to long for the familiar confinement, the familiar and understood boundaries of the tin suit. DG/Cain UST and angst.

Sidestory to Tea and Sympathy. Having kidnapped Harry Potter with Hermione Granger's help, Snape has the tough job of forcing Harry to see where his loyalty still lies...and hiding his relationship with Hermione. Oneshot.

And Alex should have moved away then – she should have pulled back to a respectable and chaste distance and finished out the song with all of the professionalism that she and Bobby showed the other three hundred and sixty four days of the year."
